• Lead engineering discussions, guide technical direction, and help resolve cross‑discipline design questions so the team moves as one.
• Set clear priorities from kickoff through closeout.

Own Budgets and Invoicing

• Track accounts receivable, follow up on outstanding balances, and manage change‑order billing so revenue is captured cleanly.
• Partner with accounting and leadership on forecasting, project margins, and cash flow.

Manage Contracts

• Own the project contract from execution through closeout, ensuring the team delivers to its terms and the client meets theirs.
• Review scopes of work, deliverables, and commercial terms, flagging anything that creates risk or ambiguity.
• Draft, negotiate, and process change orders.

Champion Client Experience

• Act as the primary point of contact for all project communication, building transparency and trust around every objective and contractual requirement.
• Manage scope adjustments efficiently.

Ensure Quality and Compliance

• Apply standardized processes and best practices across every discipline.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Science, or related field; PMP certification highly preferred.
• Working knowledge of the engineering design process across relevant disciplines (civil, electrical, structural) sufficient to review deliverables and coordinate effectively with design teams.
• Experience managing projects through a phased design approach (e.g., 30%/60%/90% design milestones through Issued-for-Construction), including coordinating design iterations and resolving comments across disciplines.
• Comfort reading and interpreting engineering drawings, specifications, and design packages well enough to flag issues before they reach the field.
• Minimum of 3 years of exposure to the Utility Scale Solar industry.
• Minimum of 2 years in project management in the renewable industry specifically, Utility Scale.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, CRM software, and project management tools.
